Chateau Vaux le Vicomte - Salon du Chocolat

You insisted I attendChateau Vaux le Vicomte's Salon du Chocolat so I dragged myself off yesterday with former San Fransican/now Parisienne Susanne to check it out. It was Susanne's first time and my 3rd so I was the guide. Ah the smell of it! Throughout the chateau - it was inescapable...

Tower upon tower of chocolat...here to adorn mini crepes made-to-order

A giant tower of chocolate macaron sculpture.

The French obsession with towers goes beyond the Eiffel Tower...

...it seems.

The piece de resistance in the chateau's Grand Salon made by Frederic Cassel.

After we'd filled up on chocolat.They sent us off to divine divans for a much needed nap, before trudging home laden with bags of chocolate. Quite a grand trick or treat day. Thank you for insisting I go PB readers!

The Chateau looked so wonderfully majestic sitting back in the grey sky, and now chocolate covered macarons - oh my... I would love to try these.Merci for the wonderful photos - I am so glad you got to go...

Oh my heavens!! The chateau, the chocolate, the delights, the chefs, the unparalleled French atmosphere... all too good to be true! The chocolate covered macarons... I must try them! Oh, I can't wait to get back to Paris. So happy you are there right now to help us dream and enjoy!

What waistline?I lost sight of my shoes as soon as I hit terra Paris.I can only see macarons where aire I gaze...and chockies...actually I'm ready to go cold turkey and am a bit sick of it all.I'm leaving behind a fridge full of macs.Let me know if you want the address.
